Benno Schulenberg 4b1a81e773 docs: mention the availability of ^Y, ^N, and ^A at a Yes-No prompt 2024-07-28 13:55:31 +02:00
Benno Schulenberg af2f218192 bindings: at a Yes-No-All prompt, accept also ^A for "All"
This can be useful when replacing text in a Japanese locale,
avoiding the need to guide the input method to produce "A".

Benno Schulenberg 7c86c1a185 syntax: awk: add a missing "|" between "\?" and ":"
The "\?" and ":" are meant to match the ? and : in this construct:

    condition ? thenthis : otherwisethis

The missing "|" seems to have been a typo.

Benno Schulenberg 4b03cc60cf moving: for Alt+Home/Alt+End, refresh the screen when the mark is on
When the mark is on, moving the cursor to the top or bottom row should
highlight the relevant area -- thus requiring a call of edit_refresh()
to be scheduled.

Also, drop two calls of place_the_cursor(), as that is done anyhow in
the main loop, either directly, or indirectly through edit_refresh().

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65992.
Reported-by: Tasos Papastylianou <tpapastylianou@hotmail.com>

Bug existed since version 8.0, since Alt+Home/Alt+End were introduced.

Benno Schulenberg c356db9f44 macro: insert it in keystroke buffer without discarding latter's contents
Instead of simply overwriting the current contents of the keystroke
buffer with the contents of the macro buffer, insert the latter's
contents at the head of the keystroke buffer.

This allows using {runmacro} in a string bind, and allows typing ahead
over a laggy connection after invoking `runmacro` (normally with M-;).

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65991.
Reported-by: Tasos Papastylianou <tpapastylianou@hotmail.com>

Bug exists since version 2.9.4, since string binds were introduced.

Benno Schulenberg 887803cb67 bindings: let the central numpad key (with Ctrl) center the current line

-- it's left as a little Easter egg.)

Benno Schulenberg 7d8f13b9f7 build: use the standard `autoreconf` invocation
As version 0.20 of `autopoint` no longer overwrites 'extern-inline.m4',
there is no need any more for the custom calls of the various parts of
`autoreconf`.

This effectively reverts commit 4a1db96d from two and a half years ago.

Benno Schulenberg ec177c84b3 build: require version 0.20 of gettext for building nano from git
Gettext-0.20 is the first version where its `autopoint` does not
overwrite the newer 'extern-inline.m4' from gnulib.

Version 0.20 is five years old, so most users will be on a distro
that includes that version of gettext or a newer one.

Benno Schulenberg ef1c9b9f2b tweaks: implement do_center() with a single call instead of three
This works because the main loop sets 'cycling_aim' to zero
whenever the current keystroke is not bound to `cycle`.

Benno Schulenberg 90e62db26e help: regroup the `center` item, placing it with the new `cycle` 2024-06-15 09:57:06 +02:00
Benno Schulenberg 498154804c bindings: let ^L put the cursor line at center, then top, then bottom
Something similar can be achieved with:

  bind ^T "{center}{bottomrow}{center}{toprow}" main
  bind ^B "{center}{toprow}{center}{bottomrow}" main

But that requires allocating two extra shortcuts, and it works right only
when the edit window has an odd number of rows, not with an even number.
Also, this new ^L behavior is available by default, out-of-the-box.

Benno Schulenberg d1c723bc14 new feature: add bindable function `cycle` that pushes cursor line around
On the first call, `cycle` centers the line with the cursor, on the
second consecutive call it pushes that line to the top of the viewport,
and on the third consecutive call to the bottom of the viewport.

Benno Schulenberg d477bfd4ee tweaks: drop two redundant conditions
The function do_tab() is only ever called when in the main edit window,
and never called while a bracketed paste is in progress.

(The two conditions were thoughtlessly copied when this fragment of code
was moved here three commits ago.)

Benno Schulenberg 6c81f60914 moving: use edit_scroll() only when scrolling one row is enough
When softwrapping with a tabsize larger than the width of the viewport,
scrolling one row when the cursor goes offscreen might not be enough,
so in that case use edit_redraw() instead.

Benno Schulenberg 9b7a813069 text: do not check for <Tab> + mark while getting input but in do_tab()
This allows a {tab} in a string bind to indent a marked region.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65859.

Benno Schulenberg a98f82e27b startup: no not activate --modernbindings when name starts with "e"
Activating --modernbindings when the binary's name starts with "e"
interferes with Debian's alternatives system that symlinks `editor`
to `nano` in a default install.

(Also: why "e"?  It would have made more sense to check for "m",
similar to the checking for "r" for a restricted nano.)

For some files the original author is unclear, or

Prevent also the toggling of Append and Prepend.  All four functions

WriteOut menu in that mode, but using {browser}, {backup}, {append}

Benno Schulenberg ea07eb6aa3 help: show option -Y/--syntax in --help output also in restricted mode
Since version 3.2, commit 5ca444e5, nano reads the nanorc files also
in restricted mode (when not also --ignorercfiles is given), meaning
that syntaxes are available and that a specific syntax can be selected
on the command line.  So, the --help output in restricted mode should
list the relevant option: -Y<name> / --syntax=<name>.
